In 1945, a man decapitated a chicken which then went on to live for another 18 months without a head.
"Mike" the chicken was fed with a water dropper down his severed neck, and could walk around and balance on a perch. He spent most of his time attempting to preen, and crowing, which sounded like a gurgling noise in his throat. He died in 1947 whist touring the USA.
